Alluitsup Paa (old spelling prior to the orthography reform in 1973: ''Agdluitsup pâ'') is a village in the Kujalleq municipality in southern Greenland. Alluitsup Paa had 278 residents in 2012.〔(【引用サイトリンク】language=Danish )〕 Along Narsarsuaq, Alluitsup Paa is one of the rare settlements in Kujalleq without its own church. The town church, which was established in 1926, burned to the ground on New Year's Eve, 2007.〔(【引用サイトリンク】language=Danish )〕 Presently the community's religious activities take place in Qaqortoq. ==History== The settlement was founded as a trading station--Sydprøven ("South Prøven")--in 1830, to distinguish it from Nordprøven ("North Prøven", modern day Narsaq) which was established the same year. The Greenlandic name simply means "''outside of Alluitsoq''", further giving emphasis to the nowadays nearly abandoned village of Alluitsoq. Until December 31, 2008, the town was the second-largest population center of Nanortalik Municipality in the Kitaa amt. On January 1, 2009, Alluitsup Paa became part of Kujalleq municipality, when the Kitaa amt, as well as the municipalities of Narsaq, Qaqortoq, and Nanortalik ceased to exist as administrative entities. Before the municipal reform of 2009, Alluitsup Paa was Greenland's largest settlement without municipal status. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alluitsup Paa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
